Debating

[suppdude]

Been cruising for over 8 weeks now (200mg test e week). Last 6 weeks no training at all. Obviously softened up quite a bit and I expect strength to be way down. Tighten up a bit with dnp EC stack while upping test, or up the test and add something else, get strength back, and some size before tightening back up?

makes more sense to continue with the dnp, add some more test and give it some time to "kick in" then get off the dnp and get into your "anabolic rebound" window to start making some new gains. it would be counterproductive to try to get your strength back only to partially lose it again when you start dieting and dnp.

for instance, i just dialed in and lost as much fat as i could right before fall started so i could go balls to the wall and not feel bad about any potential fat spillover when trying for new growth. in the past if i don't start off extremely tight i usually cut my bulks short because i start to feel too chubby, but that's just me.

Here is what I would do. Start training again. Give it a couple weeks. Keep test at 200. Add in low dose DNP and tighten up. Once you reach desires bodyfat %, drop the DNP, keep your diet the same as it clears your system, then add in a little carbs, keep that same diet for a week or two, then increase the test and add in an anabolic (deca, superdrol, Tren, etc). Keep diet tight, just slowly add in some more carbs around training and focus on progressive overload in the gym. Add GH if you can afford it.

1. Up testosterone, get your strength/muscle back. It should come fast since you just lost it.


2. Next time, when taking a break from full time training due to life/work/injury, train each muscle group at least once per week. This will maintain 90% of your strength/muscle. All you need is one intense workout per week for maintenance.


It takes 3-4 weeks of zero training to start losing muscle/strength, per studies.

8 weeks cruising and 6 weeks no workouts, you should not need DNP unless you were at krispy kreme every day. Keep at your 200mg, start training again and you will get back a lot of that fullness and strength real quick. THEN add in another compound if your goal is beyond that. Kinda the thinking of don`t start gear at all until your natural potential is maxed out. Why add all kinds of other stuff when its not needed?
